WELCOME TO FINANCIAL AID!
Welcome to the financial aid website at Brazosport College. We are here to serve you with your educational goals. Please explore the various types of financial aid available. Be mindful of our priority deadlines and know that we handle each file with the same careful attention in the order they are received. Once again, welcome to Brazosport College. Best of luck with your educational endeavors!

Spring Financial Aid will be available February 13th for scholarships and grants and February 17th for loans. Students who have not already set up direct deposit or acquired a BC debit card need to do so by February 7th. Direct deposit is set up through your myBC account and the debit card is acquired through the library. Students who have not set this up by February 7th will be required to pick up financial aid checks at the cashier's window.

 Tips for Success

The PRIORITY deadline for Summer 2012 is April 1, 2012. Financial Aid applications for grants, loans, and scholarships are processed year around. Students meeting the priority deadline (complete financial aid file including FAFSA and other required documents), are guaranteed knowledge of their financial aid status and award amount before the payment deadline. Students completing their file after the priority deadline should prepare to make necessary payment arrangements for their courses. A payment plan is available through myBC during the Fall and Spring semesters only.
To be eligible for financial assistance, a student must:

  • be accepted for enrollment or currently enrolled in good standing
  • not be in default on any student loan
  • not owe funds back received at Brazosport College or any other institution
  • meet Brazosport College's Satisfactory Academic Policy
  • present tuition statement when using a waiver such as Hazlewood or Legacy each semester.
  • present schedule if student is on 'REVIEW' before the review hold will be lifted and funds made available.
